JAMES WOODROW CLARK Charleston, S. C. A. B. ; Phi.; HKcf.; olK Do you seek his equal. ' ' jVoiii ' is , except himself. If this man hasn ' t driven every professor on the Faculty crazy, it isn ' t his fault. For goodness knows, he has asked enough questions to do so. This camouflage perhaps ac- counts for his high marks because Woody never gives the Faculty a chance to find out how little he really studies. His position as orderly on the staflF of General Fetzer and Cap- tain King has also inspired master- pieces of totally unnecessary knowl- edge on the part of some of the pri- vates involved. However, like his famous kinsman. Woodrow gets there just the same. Secretary Phi.

When this man was a Freshman he would cover biscuit after biscuit with a sweet, viscous, mellifluous, black liquid, otherwise known as zip, and thus he has been called ever since. Zip has made progress since his ar- rival here at Davidson. He recogniz- ed the superior advantages (?) of Rumple over Chambers and is now a confirmed Rumpleite. Believe me. this man believes in exercise. The authorities could profitably rent his room as a gymnasium for the rest of us. Zip is an optimistic lad and never believes in allowing his studies to interfere with him, though he pulls down the ' . G. ' s consistently. Class Football; V. M. C. A.

BENJAMIN McCLURE BROWN Cornelius, N. C. B. S. ■• iiui justh sa with thai honkcd- nosc Fcllnw of Komc. ' I came. I staid, and I overcame ' We have always known that Da- vidson had a httle suburb attached to the southern part of it. but we did not realize what there was ni it until we met Bennie. It is really surpris- ing what these little towns will pro- duce. Bennie started out many moons ago to toil in the pathways and byways of knowledge, but each year he realized that he had not found a class which he could .h 0 ' ' enough to graduate witli, until this year he cast his lot with us. Bennie is an optimist. He really doesn t know how to worry and the fact that he carries seven or eight tickets docs not dispel that smile that wont come ofT. Bennie, we ' re glad you re with us.

GEORGE SANFORD CROUCH Cartersville, Ga. Eu. ; KA ; St. Cklilia A fair exterior is a silent recom- mendation. This man hails from the red hills of Georgia where he learned how to run four-forty, break ladies ' hearts and swipe watermelons (or maybe pears). George has been a decisive factor in the building up of our suc- cessful track team for George ' s scores mount up like a drug-store bill. He would have been a Venus de Milo but he lacks the Grecian nose. All the girls and all the boys (including George) like George. George is the big boy on the audit board which is preparing him for the office of High Muckcy-muck in the First National Sheckel Depository of Cartersville, Ga., U. S. A.

WILLIAM COOPER GUMMING Wilmington, N. C. . . 1 ' ,. : Pm. ; -T; Polity Cub Who .I ' ilh a natural instinct to dis- cern What Icnowledye can perform, is diligent to learn. The village of Wiltnington, N. C, wished this prodigy upon us in the fall of 1914. Once in a while Wil- liam uses his spare time to study. At other tiines he writes highbrow po- etry (so-called), keeps books and de- bates in the Phi. Society. As Ser- geant of Co. C. Gumming has put his foot on the bottom rung of the ladder leading to Somewhere in France. With all statistics in we predict that William will be a big factor in the CimiTiiing generation.
